Abstract

This swash plate comprises a resin film layer formed on the front surface and the rear surface, and said resin film layer serves as the sliding surface which slides on a shoe. The inner periphery of the resin film layer is a tilted surface which a lubricant can easily cross over. In other words, angle θ1 is 10° or less and angle θ2 of the rising part is set to 20° or less, and when the lubricant is supplied from the inner periphery side of the swash plate, said lubricant easily crosses over said inner periphery which is a tilted surface, and is quickly supplied to the surface (the sliding surface) outside of said inner periphery. Because the lubricant is quickly supplied to the front surface and the rear surface (the sliding surface) of the swash plate, seizure of the swash plate can be prevented.

Claims5

Dependent claims

A swash plate comprising:

a disc-shaped substrate;
and
a coating layer applied to a surface of the substrate, the coating layer serving as a sliding surface sliding with a shoe;
wherein
an inner peripheral part in the coating layer serves as a tilted surface having an outer edge located in a radial outwards direction, the outer edge serving as an edge part on an inner peripheral part side of the sliding surface with respect to an inner edge serving as a boundary part with an end part of the substrate, the tilted surface has an angle θ1 formed by a virtual straight line connecting the inner edge and the outer edge with the end surface of the substrate and is set to 10° or less, and an angle θ2 formed by a rising part adjacent to the inner edge with the end surface is set to 20° or less, and an angle formed with the end surface of the substrate in any section of the tilted surface is less than 90°.
